Probably because if/when Poole Stadium was to close, you would undoubtedly be one of the first to gloat on here.

If I were BV I'd only ride 'under protest' at Batch's inclusion!! ;-) ;-) The SCB official granted the IRR facility for him last night, so the SCB should stop him from guesting 24 hours later. (and that's no disrespect to Swindon!) Is the NSS track looking heavy and grippy for this evening??

So I've waited until the dust has settled a little - although there doesn't seem to have been any dust at the AFA last night - and have read through several pages of comments, many of which seem sincere as well as the usual wind-ups. Firstly I'll make it clear that I wasn't there last night, I was following on updates and the Poole twitter feed. Secondly whilst I am no particular fan of Chris Holder's attitude (although I do love to watch him race when in-form), what I find difficult to understand is why his home track has been prepared as 'very grippy' when he has stated quite openly that he hated the track when visiting as an away rider and doesn't like too much grip. It was also reported on here that young Lambert was assisting Buster by going around with him an the tractor and 'telling him what he wanted the track to be like'!! Why, if this is different to what your 'top' riders want? At the end of it all, a sad night for Kings Lynn Speedway in particular, as many Pirate fans thought about Poole Speedway after Wednesday night. Thanks for the 4 points and best wishes to Dale Allitt for a full and speedy recovery. Finally, I couldn't resist a smile at Gavan's posts having a go at other posters for commenting whilst not being at the meeting!! A greater irony I have not witnessed for many months!!

Great result for the Robins, in the circumstances. Looking forward even more to next Wednesday. 4 SGBP teams in action so different options available in GP week for any guests that might be needed. :-)

Still a bit early to start this thread - lots could change before next Wednesday!!

How about THJ for NK? Not everyone's cup of tea but I think he fits?!

Not getting paid??!!

Bjarne's end of season average last year was 6.91. However isn't there a rule that stops you from re-signing a rider from last season unless they are in this year's starting 1-7? ie you can't sign him mid-season. The same applies to the likes of Buczkowski. Walasek, Wozniak, Swiderski, (Watt!!) ?? :-)

Milik already riding 3 leagues - Poland Sweden and his own domestic Czech League. For him to be a realistic choice he would need to either drop Sweden or wait til all his Czech commitments are done!! As for KK we can only hope he continues last night's Heat 13 performance!!

I think Kings Lynn may be a little upset with that as they are at home v Rye House the same night!!

Thanks for all the definitive scorelines for this evening - I guess there's no point me going now?! ;-) NB. Ayres 'rode' for Leicester at Poole 3 weeks ago and could hardly stay on the bike, scoring a big fat zero. Shanes scoring 2 or 3 points this evening could well be the difference between the 2 teams! I expect someone will no doubt tell me!!

Whoops indeed - watching too many re-runs of that Steve Worrall race in the SWC final obviously!!

'A spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down..........'!!

Outvoted at every turn

Line-ups for Wednesday: Poole - 1.KK; 2.JH; 3.NK; 4.RW; 5.HA; 6.PS; 7.JS Stars - 1.TB; 2.TJ; 3.KH; 4.RL; 5.CH; 6.LR; 7.DA. For Thursday Simon Lambert returns to replace Danny Ayres

Well Ellis and Starke are not available next Monday so the choice gets more limited.

Surprising that he's got a team sponsor already lined up for next year then!! (Unless the sponsor is taking over of course?? )

How do you know that riding order is CORRECT? That's just your opinion not FACT.

Hey Stars fans - any stats on what Richie Worrall is like around the AFA?!

Apologies to all Swindon fans for the Poole troll taking over your thread.

Richie Worrall in for Brady as injury cover on a 28 day contract.

Indeed.

Poole's website says Klindt's riding (whether he'll be racing or not remains to be seen!). Maybe Matt needs to see for himself as he was away for the last home meeting so didn't personally witness what we all saw - unless he's watched the Re-Run dvd!!! Nicolai certainly didn't ride for Krakow in the Polish meeting that Brady was injured in - not sure if he's been dropped? He has a Swedish meeting tomorrow for Indianerna on his calendar so will be interesting to see if he rides there.

Looking forward to Chris Holder's return - if only to see how he handles the '$#1t' track that he hates so much - as the Stars 3rd heat leader! The Stars on paper should have the edge over the Pirates on this one. Not sure that r/r for Brady will yield too much with riders that are either not race fit or are still carrying injuries. Still, I'll be taking my usual place and look forward to a decent meeting. ps & NB. KK, Klindt and now Brady all injured on the 'superbly well prepared tracks' in Poland.

lol.
